quick note for anyone who cares (i just ate a snickers), on the package is this:
おなかがすいたらスニッカーズバー
″ナッツぎっしり確かな満足″
onaka ga suitara sunikka-zu ba-
"nattsu gisshiri tashika na manzoku"
which means roughly
If you're hungry, Snickers Bar!
"nuts packed to certain satisfaction"
ok i'm going to bed (it's just hit the 24th in the morning...)

something i need to post...i just heard a chinese guy behind me whose brother studied in america...his brother said that americans believe that asians are inferior...since when did this happen? just thought i should post this...apparently some southern chinese are getting the wrong idea from some bad representatives of america, and then spreading the lies abroad...frightening, huh? also, i heard no positive aspects about america there...just about how we're bad people...i would have argued, but 1)his english is not good, so it wouldn't have mattered, and 2)all it would have done in his mind is prove his point about how we're "pushy" and "believe asians to be inferior" but of course, this guy is nice, and i consider him my friend -- i think that's an important point to make, that this guy is not some 'evil chinaman' or whatever some american might read my post and think...he's a nice guy whose gotten the wrong image about america...there are a lot of people like this, not bad people, just misinformed people...and many americans aren't doing anything to help the image...
ok just got outta my first class, time to post

Haha nice ways to describe one snicker
As for the american image, I really dont blame that chinese guy, but as the matter of fact, most of asian feel the same way too.
but see, the problem with saying "americans think asians are inferior" is to imply "asians in america think themselves inferior"
the problem with making sweeping racial statements in regards to america, is that americans HAVE no race...now if you mean the caucasians in america, then DON'T say 'americans'...say 'caucasians' or 'white people think asians are inferior'...i assure you i don't think chinese ppl are inferior, and i am american...i actually know ZERO people who see asians as inferior...however, i DO however have a family full of people who think asians are SUperior! which of course is still racist, but hey...whatever ^_^
truth is, asians are superior to americans in america, take a look at any postgraduate program in the states, or any high school's roster of the best students
and, that includes both americanized asians who can't speak anything besides english and foreign students
